The Information Resource Center
The Information Resource Center provides authoritative, relevant and timely background on the content and context of U.S. policy issues and American society. It offers research, reference and documentation services on American foreign and domestic policies, including political and legislative developments, defense and security matters, social, economic and environmental issues, people, and institutions. These information services usually are of interest to people with a professional interest in the United States, such as staff of French government offices, legislative offices, the media, academic researchers and teachers, graduate students and the members of think tanks and non-governmental organizations. Professional information specialists manage our sources, including selected reference books, periodicals and electronic databases.
The general public may wish to consult our General Resources, as it answers many commonly asked questions about the United States.
The following links provide additional specific information: U.S. Citizen Services, Visas, Education, Travel and Tourism. Additionally, the public is welcome to send us an e-mail regarding a reference question, and we will attempt to answer it or to refer the inquirer to an appropriate institution or website.
